And I'm starting to think that BEEEAATTCH *is* a BJJ term - one of the guys in my class said it the other night. :P

First, I'm gonna hit ya...then you're gonna fall

**The most miraculous power that can verifiably be attributed to "chi" is its ability to be all things to virtually all people, depending on what version of the superstition they are attempting to defend at any given moment.**

Normally, I'd say I was grappling, but I was taking down and mounting people, and JFS has kindly informed us that takedowns and being mounted are neither grappling nor anti grappling, so I'm not sure what the **** I was doing. Maybe schroedinger's sparring, where it's neither grappling nor anti-grappling until somoene observes it and collapses the waveform, and then I RNC a cat to death.----fatherdog

The thread is cliche techniques. There's no doubt that taking someone down is often a good choice, but I think it's a bit cliche to think that every situation calls for a shoot.

Oh - here's anoter... Catching a punch with a grab and breaking the elbow with a swift strike from the other hand in some sort of shuto chop. Guy walks away with broken arm and you look like Daniel-San.
